    Paul's Quest into first Pro Qualifier

    November 7th of 2009 I will be stepping on stage in NGA Florida Natural Championships in Coral Springs, Fl. I have attended this show the last two years and have really enjoyed what I have seen. The show is very well run with the NGA Universe taking place at the same time...the NGA's biggest Pro Show.

    Background about me:

    I did my first show in June of 2008. I stepped on stage at a level 4 NPC show in the Novice division. As a life time drug free athlete I was intially worried about entering an untested show. The Mid-Florida Muscle Classic is a big show in Orlando which I had attended in the past. To prepare for the stage I hired Layne Norton to help me. After watching Layne prepare Tommy on his video series I knew he would be a great resource. True to form he was easy to work with and quick to respond. After a year of preparing and 18 weeks of dieting I won the Novice class with a symmertrical, lean physique. I thought about doing a few more shows but after seeing myself in contest shape I knew I had lots of work to do and decided to get started right away...with Layne in my corner once again.

    This past year I have used several methods to add size. I used Derek's Tri-Phase with great results, I also use Layne Power\hypertrophy split as well as some pure hypertrophy from time to time. I have learned that changing my workouts has given me the best results.

    My nutrition is pretty basic, atleast to me it is. I eat 5-6 meals a day depending on my schedule. While not in contest prep I was eating 300p/400c/70f. These were numbers I found to help me remain relatively lean while pushing heavy weight...for me. I am currently at the 16 week out mark of my contest and my numbers are now at 270p/240c/55f with a refeed of 340 carbs. Layne is guiding me once again.

    My supplements of choice are based around Scivation. I have found that Scivation products are used by the athletes I have been motivated by since deciding to persue bodybuilding. I had the pleasure of meeting Marc, Rob and Derek, and Bill at the Arnold classic...where I also had dinner and trained with Layne, Isabel, Tommy and Kera. My girfriend is also now hooked and 12 weeks out from her first show in figure.

    Current Supplement's Are
    Scivation Whey(love both flavors)
    Xtend(Watermelon, Apple, Blue Razz)
    Sesamin
    Dialene 4x
    Knockout(for nights when i need solid but short sleep)
    CellTech(creatine and dextose)
    Flex by Animal(joints)
    Multi Vitamin

    I have been logging my workouts on bodybuilding.com for about two years now. I started a contest prep thread in the contest prep area in January of last year, and after that completed I started a thread on the workout journal section. I am choosing to use Derek's contest prep section this time as Scivations workouts and supplements are heavily involved. The workout journal will be getting the same treatment it has been...all my workouts, pics, adventures. I have pictures from the Arnold Classic, Vacation to Muscle Beach and many other experiences. Here is a link for the curious.

    http://forum.bodybuilding.com/showth...hp?t=111461481

    I started my contest prep diet with 24 weeks to go. My weight was 232 at the time with an off season high of 238. I am now at 219 as of Sunday night. Here are my latest update pics I sent to Layne. I take them with the flash and find the harsh lighting is very honest if not complimentary....as Layne likes to say. If you look good in bad lighting...you look good!









    This was me accepting my trophy last year.





    SO HERE WE GO AGAIN!

    Im in, checked your other thread too. Looks like you stayed pretty lean for the offseason and with 18 weeks to diet you are set to be shredded. Also your girl looks great, she looks ready, especially for her first time out.

    My wife competes too and its fun to be able to share that with your sig other.

    Thanks Scoobs...I did cardio a few times a week all year so I could eat all I want and still wear my slim clothes...It has helped with the transition into contest prep for sure...

    I am so excited for Misty to compete...she is doing amazing and really has taken to the sport like no other...she is really competitive and hadn't had an outlet for a while. I can't wait to see what she does after her show putting on some muscle. The best part is her help in the kitchen. She does it all, weighs our food and cooks it. Life is much better for this prep!

    Tuesday July 21st, 2009

    Power Lower Day 70%

    Hack Squats
    3plates per side or 270
    5 sets of 5 in 5 minutes

    Deadlifts
    225
    5 sets of 5 in 5 minutes

    Leg Extension
    300x8 for 3 sets, hold at top

    Leg Curl
    150x8 for 3 sets, controlled throughout

    30 minutes LISS cardio on the recumbant bike.


    Today was the second power workout this week. I had to workout in the morning since my work schedule this week has been altered. Today however I felt much better after waking up and getting some food early, then downing my Vasocharge right before the gym. The weights were light today so I kept the pace really fast. Everything felt good and I look forward to pushing the envelope for 5 reps on both hack and deads...I would love to use squats but no training partner so hacks to the bottom with a close stance it is!

    Yeah I remember seeing you around Columbus all weekend. Wish we could have met and chatted but I am sure it will happen in the future. Tommy and I have become pretty good friends and he has lots of good things to say about you. Glad to have you here and I will be following along with all your hard work as well.

    Thanks, last year was a learning experience and I definitely learned alot. This year its time to put my knowledge and determination to the test. I started my diet at 24 weeks out after seeing how Tommy got so lean with a long diet. I have also become a huge fan of Brian Whitacre...he emailed me and said he is dieting for 27 weeks this year going into WNBF World's...My goal is to be as lean as possible...then let the judges decide!

    Wednesday July 22nd, 2009

    10 sets of donkey calf raises, highlight...3 sets of 8 with 390

    8 sets of hanging leg raises, slow and controlled...pause at top.

    2 sets decline situps.

    Typically an off day but I have been enjoying going to the gym before work this week. I plan on having more days like this. Time in the gym can get pretty long with training, cardio, posing. For me I like to take some ancillary parts and train them seperate to keep my time in the gym reasonable.

    Tomorrow is back\chest\shoulder hypertrophy and HIIT cardio...should be a killer. It's also a refeed of 340 carbs.

    Back\Chest\Shoulers hypertrophy

    Tbar Rows
    4platesx10 3 sets

    Wide Grip Pullups(full stretch, contracting lats)
    BWx10 3 sets

    Wide Grip Low cable rows
    85x12, 100x12, 100x12

    Narrow Grip High Cable Rows
    150x12 3 sets

    Hammer Strength Pullover
    180x12, 180x12

    Incline Bench Press
    225x10, 225x10, 225x6

    Flat DB Press
    90x10, 95x10, 95x10

    Incline DB Flyes
    55x10, 55x10, 55x10

    Hammer Strength Shoulder Press
    140x10 3 sets

    DB Lateral Raise
    25x10 3 sets

    10 HIIT sprints on bike

    Day one back on the hypertrophy workout and I was feeling really good. Something about hitting back right before chest really helps get everything going in the upper body. I put shoulders in this workout to give them a rest since last year my shoulder started to bother me during prep when I had them on arm day...basically hitting shoulders directly or indirectly 3 days a week. This way its only two. I expect my numbers to climb in the coming weeks as today was a feeler day. Trying to find my place. Some lifts were easier than expected and some harder. Cardio was tough but not tougher than I am in prep mode! Getting up early and eating well really helps these morning workouts...Vasocharge also makes sure my energy level never drops...Off to a good start with the new split! Tomorrow is legs and I can't wait for the pain!

    SLDL
    185x10, 185x10, 205x10, 225x10

    Had the day off from work today so I woke up early and got a good meal in. Hit my Vasocharge and headed off for leg day. This is week one of the hypertrophy legs so I wanted to find what works. I was happy with everything and moved very quickly. I will be adding weight to this workout in the coming weeks. Tomorrow morning I have 18 holes of golf to play and arms to hit as well. The weight is coming off, we shall see how it looks Sunday when I update Layne but right now its really good.

    Yeah, I figured it was time to start a contest prep log. Scivation has been the biggest influence on me other than Layne in the last few years so it just makes sense.

    Arms and traps on tap for Saturday afternoon. I played golf at 8am until noon and it was in the mid 90's. I was pretty spent after golf but I went home after to get hydrated and recover for the workout. I wasn't at 100% but I felt really good. I still pushed really hard and did as much damage as possible. I am sure next Saturday the numbers will improve without playing in the sun before the gym. Diet is spot on..fat is coming off and update pictures are soon to follow.

    Sunday

    10 sets seated Calf Raises. 4 platesx8 for 5 sets

    10 sets abs, 7 leg raises and 3 decline situps...abs are coming along.

    10 HIIT sprints outside...fast for a white guy!

    Heavy Upper Body day and again I worked out in the morning. I felt much better this week as I got great sleep, ate a big breakfast and took my Vasocharge. I still prefer working out after 4-5 meals but I have to say its been nice to be done working out by 11. Tonight I will be hitting cardio after work...30 minutes LISS at Gold's. I was a bit behind this morning. I have been considering splitting cardio and weights so I will see how this works out.







    The first two pics were taken Sunday night as part of my updates for Layne. Weight is down to 217 with 103 days to go. The last pics was just different lighting. Those flash pics wash everything out and I feel stage ready when in the gym...although I know I have alot more to lose. 15 weeks!

    15 weeks and already rocking a very lean base, with visible abs. You are going to be shredded, and the glutes will be popping.

    Good looking swing bro, only thing i would recommend is following through with your body on the motion, and bringing your back shoulder completely through the motion, other than that extend on the follow through.

    Looks solid (yeah my dad is a golf pro, hence the BS above)

    Your in such a great spot. This is why you stay lean in the offseason, makes prep so much easier.

    This was my first off season...which really was more like a year round contest prep since I kept track of my diet, kept cardio in and trained with the intention of getting on stage.

    Tracking everything year round and cardio is something I will always do now...and yes..makes it much easier.
